Return to Castle Wolfenstein

This game is a Masterpiece. Every level is superb designed, the graphics is beautiful until these days, superb action like in movies, great music, very sexy SS girls which want to kill you. What do you want more? It feels like the developers really loved their work for this game. Great old times! Don't put a low score just because you are lazy and you don't want to look for a patch to be compatible with Windows 10. Blame Microsoft for games not being compatible, not the developers! Find and use one patch from these... rtcw-sp-1.42d-win32-bin.zip or iortcw-1.51c-win-x86.zip or iortcw-1.51c-win-x64.zip I am glad to help you!

The movement is fast and fluid. The story is fun and faithful to the series. The game has charming NPC dialogue, great level design (aside from Forest), a wide variety of enemy types, high energy soundtrack, god-tier replayability because of how different each mission is, good strong weapon sounds (aside from the Luger), I could go on and on. On an even more subjective note, I love the look of the game and think it's beautiful. Multiplayer was incredible, too, and while there's 1 or 2 populated deathmatch servers still up, most people moved on to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. If you loved the single-player campaign, check out the CO-OP mod, there's still public servers up and plenty of regulars who still play.

I only ever played Wolfenstein The New Order and was super underwhelmed, to the point where I had to check if there was anything this series offered better than that mediocrity. Suffice it to say this definitely outshines most other FPS games I've played thus far (especially the generic COD wannabes of today) and its weird that this game doesn't get enough praise or attention that it so desperately deserves. Albeit not many care to shill old "niche" games that aren't console specific. This game really has everything I would ever want in an FPS: great shooting mechanics/feedback, fun level designs, differing objectives/playstyles, fun dumb story, actual enemies who fight back, and some pretty swell sound effects. Definitely in my top 10 FPS games list and definitely would recommend it to literally everyone who loves FPS games in general... One thing I WILL say, is that the silenced Sten gun is THE meta for human enemies at almost every distance, making most other guns kind of useless... pretty much used it 100% of the time when I got it and found out its unparalleled potential.

It is the best of the Wolfenstein games and sets the bar. Full stop and end of review - this is a first person shooter that does everything right. I had a US colleague who more or less smuggled a physical copy for the Mac (PowerPC only back in the day) over the border to Germany so that I could play it. And this leads me to a remark for GOG: Why can I actually see this game in the German store if you don't allow me to add it to the cart and actually purchase it? You love to tease us Germans and our idiotic youth protection laws? Please - if we cannot purchase it, then don't show it to us. Besides, that would even be the correct legal way in Germany: You are actually not even allowed to show this game in your store, since it's on the index because of its Third Reich symbols. And that ruling, by the way, is outdated and has been dropped in the meantime - games qualify as art, and art is allowed to used these symbols for artistic purposes and/or to provide correct historical context. The newer Wolfenstein games are now also sold without any censorship in Germany. So it should be safe to also sell Return To Castle Wolfenstein now.

***First off - Highly Recommended *** For just £4 currently you can own and play Return to Castle Wolfenstein Where as the latest Wolfenstein has stunning graphics for it's time, they lent heavily upon a more technologically advanced vision of the Nazi war machine, with Robots and Cyborg Super Soldiers Add in imposing concrete structures containing mysterious research labs and atrocities, along with gothic castles dawbed in Teutonic symbology and Swastika faced banners hanging. You have the reciepe for the nightmare B.J and his Squad face. The atmosphere of Return to Caste Wolfenstein initially feels a more tradional WW2 setting. As you lose yourself into the story and setting, you are greeted by a flashback occurring long before events of the current day, what implications could those events have on this time ? The scene is further revealed as you watch a meeting within the wood panelled offices of the OSA discussing the current situation. The quest begins. Here you are in an Old school FPS Adventure, you won't find any markers showing you where to head next, no cut scenes introducing a new threat, no red markers above enemies heads magically showing positions, just you and your wits. The German forces are dressed initially in their traditional WW2 uniforms and equiped with weapons for the time, you could be in Where Eagles Dare. You can take on the task utilising stealth, preventing soldiers from hitting the regularly placed alarm boxes on the walls, which call in back up. What is cool is, whilst lurking in the shadows you can overhear guards holding conversations discussing rumours and strange events occurring at other parts of the castle and down in the village. I would love to continue but your better off just playing this classic. Yes there's superbases and the hightech mixed with the unholy. Yes you will recognise characters, names and enemies . This game really holds up magnificently. At £4 too
